im Wintersemester 2015/2016:Algebraic Geometry I (V4A1)Prof. Huybrechts
Montag 12 c.t. - 14, On Mondays: Grosser Hoersaal, Wegelerstr. 10
Donnerstag 14 c.t. - 16, Kleiner Hoersaal, Wegelerstr. 10First lecture on Monday, 19th, no lecture on Thursday, 22nd!
The course will be taugth in English. It is recommended
to all Bachelor students who plan to write a bachelor
thesis in algebraic geometry in the workgroup.
Part II will be taugth in the following term.

This course is an introduction to the language of schemes
(including sheaves and their cohomology), which are
(ringed) spaces that locally look like the spectrum of a commutative ring.
This is the language of modern algebraic geometry and was
mainly developed by Grothendieck. The focus of the course
will really be on schemes and not so much varieties (which will
only be touched upon occasionally). Prerequisite for this course
is a good knowledge of commutative algebra (to the extent of last
term's course Algebra I).
One of the founders of the theory, David Mumford, wrote in 1975:
[Algebraic geometry] seems to have acquired the reputation of being esoteric,
exclusive, and very abstract, with adherents who are secretly plotting to take over
all the rest of mathematics! In one respect this last point is accurate ...

Graduate Seminar on Algebraic Geometry (Modul S4A1):SFB-Transregio-45-Seminar zur Algebraischen GeometrieProf. Huybrechts
Dienstag 14:00 ct - 16:00 Uhr, Endenicher Allee 60, SR 0.011
Usually we would use the Tuesday slot to learn something new,
but this term it seems more appropriate to give all
the newcommers and guests a chance to present their area
and recent work.
All talks will be individually announced in the weekly program.
